That giant (incorrect) sort statement could be replaced with these 3 sort
statements:

Selection.Sort _
key1:=Range("G1"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

Selection.Sort _
key1:=Range("D1"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
key2:=Range("E1"), Order2:=xlAscending, _
key3:=Range("F1"), Order3:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

Selection.Sort _
key1:=Range("A1"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
key2:=Range("B1"), Order2:=xlAscending, _
key3:=Range("C1"), Order3:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
